L'Amour

Marking a departure for the Peruvian bel canto superstar, this new recording offers a personal survey of the French operatic repertoire from Donizetti to the romantic outpourings of Gounod and Massenet, including Massenet s Pourquoi me Reveiller from Werther.

This is a disc that not only plays to Flórez s strengths virtuosic and high-lying but also shows a new side to the popular singer, featuring repertoire which he has rarely sung on stage.

The first solo album in four years by one of the classical world s biggest stars reveals a voice which has become richer, rounder and more mellow; the choice of repertoire draws further new colours from this ever-stylish tenor.
